That's weird, that was posted in June 2008. But yeah, i would really really like the home screen to go to landscape view. I have in that way in Safari most of the time and then I have to turn the iphone when I close it every time.
Yes, a whole iPhone covered in smudges is a huge improvement.
It would be nice to quickly access some preferences for Bluetooth and Wi-fi, but those menus are really awful. They look nothing like the iPhone UI, and they take forever to open.
